Description: A feature on cameraman and forward thinker Harry Sweet, who's collection of films now resides at the Center for Sacramento History. 

Harry Sweet (1920 - 2014) was a pioneering Northern California television news photographer with great foresight. He kept all of his footage and donated more than a quarter-century of historic Sacramento film to the Center for Sacramento History. Mr. Sweet is a prominent figure in broadcast journalism as the first television news photographer in the Sacramento Valley. He started at KCCC (now known as FOX 40) in 1953 and filmed the capital’s first TV broadcast, which included a special greeting from Governor Goodwin Knight. In 1957, he joined KCRA and went on to witness decades of history through the camera lens.
